Printing from a USB flash memory device
A USB Direct interface is located on the operator panel so you can insert a USB flash memory device and print PDF
documents. Printing a document from a USB flash memory device is similar to printing a held job.
For information regarding tested and approved USB flash memory devices, see our Lexmark Web site at http://
support.lexmark.com and click on KnowledgeBase to search for Direct USB printing.
Note the following when using a USB flash memory device with the printer USB Direct Interface:
USB devices must be compatible with the USB 2.0 standard.
Hi-Speed USB devices must support the Full-Speed standard as well. Devices only supporting USB low speed
capabilities are not supported.
USB devices must use the FAT file system. Devices formatted with NTFS or any other file system are not
supported.
You cannot print encrypted files or files without printing permissions.
To print from a USB flash memory device:
1 Make sure the printer is on and Ready or Busy appears.
2 Insert a USB flash memory device into the USB Direct interface.
Note:
If you insert the memory device when the printer requires attention such as when a paper jam
has occurred, the printer ignores the memory device.
If you insert the memory device when the printer is busy printing other jobs, the message
Printer Busy appears. Select Continue, and your job prints after the other jobs finish.
